Truckie drives away with Miss Indy title

Judging was held at Doors Nightclub in Victoria Street and attracted competitors keen to seize the chance for a modelling career.

Miss Clark was working at the mines yesterday and could not be contacted for comment, however her modelling agent, Belinda Pohle from Barter Models, said the next step was to compete for the overall Miss Indy title at the Gold Coast next month.

This includes a week of photo shoots and interviews before the final judging on Sunday, October 17.

Ms Pohle said her client would do well at the Gold Coast. ''I think she will stand out. The fact she is from Mackay and a truck driver, that's not your average girl in a bikini,'' she said.

Winning Miss Indy was a ticket to stardom, Ms Pohle said.

''The overall winner is guaranteed a modelling career and will be well-known for the rest of her life,'' she said.
